The energy transition is fundamentally transforming geopolitics,
with renewable energy and other decarbonization options reshaping
existing energy markets, trade flows, and energy security
strategies. What new opportunities and challenges await us? Will it
pacify global energy relations or bring a perilous transition? This
comprehensive Handbook discusses the geopolitical implications of
the energy transition. The first part summarizes established
insights and delivers suitable notions and analytical frameworks to
investigate the phenomenon. Subsequent parts then provide a
detailed and comparative overview of the geopolitics of the energy
transition from different perspectives: expectations, technologies,
and countries. Combined, the chapters provide a quintessential
starting point for scholars and practitioners and prepare them for
changes to come. The Handbook of the Geopolitics on the Energy
Transition is essential for students of politics, geography,
environmental studies and international relations seeking to grasp
the present circumstances of renewable energy geopolitics. It also
benefits policy makers working in sectors such as energy and
foreign policy.
Renewables are a game changer for interstate energy relations.
Their abundance and intermittency, possibilities for decentral
generation and use of rare earth materials, and generally electric
nature of transportation make them very different from fossil
fuels. What do these geographic and technical characteristics of
renewable energy systems imply for infrastructure topology and
operations, business models, and energy markets? What are the
consequences for the strategic realities and policy considerations
of producer, consumer, and transit countries and energy-related
patterns of cooperation and conflict between them? Who are the
winners and losers? The Geopolitics of Renewables is the first
in-depth exploration of the implications for interstate energy
relations of a transition towards renewable energy. Fifteen
international scholars combine insights from several disciplines -
international relations, geopolitics, energy security, renewable
energy technology, economics, sustainability transitions, and
energy policy - to establish a comprehensive overview and
understanding of the emerging energy game. Focus is on contemporary
developments and how they may shape the coming decades on three
levels of analysis: * The emerging global energy game; winners and
losers * Regional and bilateral energy relations of established and
rising powers * Infrastructure developments and governance
responses The book is recommended for academics and policy makers.
It offers a novel analytical framework that moves from geography
and technology to economics and politics to investigate the
geopolitical implications of renewable energy and provides
practical illustrations and policy recommendations related to
specific countries and regions such as the US, EU, China, India,
OPEC, and Russia
